Broken HERMES DOI In Marketplace Plugin Metadata

by ADMIN 49 views

Introduction

The HERMES marketplace plugin metadata plays a crucial role in identifying and linking built-in HERMES plugins. However, a critical issue has been discovered in the rendering of the HERMES DOI (Digital Object Identifier) in the marketplace plugin metadata. In this article, we will delve into the problem, its implications, and the necessary steps to resolve it.

Understanding HERMES Plugins and Marketplace Metadata

HERMES plugins are an integral part of the HERMES software metadata platform. They enable users to create, manage, and share metadata in a standardized and efficient manner. The marketplace metadata serves as a central hub for discovering and accessing these plugins. One of the key attributes used to identify built-in HERMES plugins is the isPartOf attribute, which points to the HERMES DOI.

The Problem: Broken HERMES DOI

The HERMES DOI is not rendered as an absolute URL in the marketplace plugin metadata. Instead, it appears as a relative URL, which can lead to incorrect interpretation and linking. Specifically, the relative URL 10.5281/zenodo.13311079 is not recognized as an absolute URL, but rather as a path within the documentation domain (https://hermes.software-metadata.pub/en/latest/10.5281/zenodo.13311079). This results in a broken link, which can cause confusion and hinder the discovery of built-in HERMES plugins.

Consequences of the Broken DOI

The broken HERMES DOI has several consequences that can impact the usability and effectiveness of the HERMES marketplace plugin metadata:

  • Incorrect linking: The broken DOI can lead to incorrect linking of built-in HERMES plugins, making it difficult for users to discover and access these plugins.
  • Confusion and frustration: The broken link can cause confusion and frustration among users, who may struggle to find the correct information or plugins.
  • Impact on plugin discovery: The broken DOI can hinder the discovery of built-in HERMES plugins, which can limit the adoption and utilization of these plugins.

Resolving the Broken DOI

To resolve the broken HERMES DOI, the following steps can be taken:

  • Render absolute URL: The HERMES DOI should be rendered as an absolute URL (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13311079) in the marketplace plugin metadata.
  • Update marketplace metadata: The marketplace metadata should be updated to reflect the correct absolute URL for the HERMES DOI.
  • Verify plugin linking: The linking of built-in HERMES plugins should be verified to ensure that it is correct and functional.

Best Practices for HERMES Marketplace Plugin Metadata

To avoid similar issues in the future, the following best practices can be followed:

  • Use absolute URLs: Always use absolute URLs for linking to external resources, such as the HERMES DOI.
  • Verify metadata: Regularly verify the accuracy and completeness of marketplace metadata to ensure that it is correct and up-to-date.
  • Test plugin linking: Thoroughly test the linking of built-in HERMES plugins to ensure that it is correct and functional.
